Northbridge water block

[AngelicBeatz]

I've have had water cooling for quite some time now but have noticed that my Northbridge seems to get very hot. I have seen some youtubers with water blocks on that section of the MB to provide cooling to it seeing at how hot it can get. My case doesn't have the best cooling since I have it mostly set for silence so I really don't want that part to over heat one day. I want to know if any of these universal parts will fit my MB or if anyone has any recommendations.

MB = Biostar TS970 AM3+ socket

Thank you for taking the time to read this let me know if I am missing anything.

In most cases it doesn't need it but if you want to integrate it into your loop just measure out the mounting points of that heatsink and find a universal block that can span those mounting points.

Doubt there is an official chipset waterblock for that motherboard, so finding a universal block would be your best option (might take a bit of macgyvering). In most cases the chipset wont get warm enough to cause harm even with poor airflow, so I wouldn't bother...

 

The chipset on my Z77 sabertooth is also quite hot to the touch, but the heatsinks would be designed well enough to ensure they dont overheat...
